Grilled Peaches + Corn

"Summer time means that I either grill, or go raw. No need for cranking up the oven and heating up the house. Summer is perfect for showcasing the beauty of natures bounty. Two of my favorites are peaches and corn. This dish playfully pairs the two into a bright, bold and complex salad that is easy to make and sure to please your guests."
- Chef Gabe Kennedy
